Thanks again! I applied this patch, with added comments, and without
the quadrigraphs for '#'. (It works with '#' therefore why write '@%:@'?)

Hmm. I understand such link errors if, after updating from gnulib, you
did "make" without "make clean". If you got the link errors also after doing
a "make clean; make", there must still be an error somewhere. The HAVE_INLINE
is only a hint. Do you still get a link error when configuring and compiling
with no optimization (CFLAGS empty)?
